Laugh it out !

Sometimes I kick myself for being absent minded. But now these incidents seem so funny to me.

About 6 years back i went to a nearby bank in my scooter (like Kannathil Muthamittal maddy) and returned home walking. After a while, i realised that the scooter was missing. I couldnt think of anyone taking the scooter, coz it was so old and no one but me knows how to kick start the machine. It took hours to figure out that i had left my scooter in the bank.

I was going to my friends appartment, and i wrongly entered the nearby appartment (truse me both looked similar) and went in. I was enquiring about Hari there and luckily this guy spotted me from the next house to rescue me out. What an embarrassing situation..

My friend and myself were returning home from college in his bike. Suddenly the bike stopped and my friend found it difficult to handle with too much traffic behind. So i got down and thought i could help him handle the bike, and this guy without realizing happily speeded up and went away.

I went to watch a movie in on of the multiplexes which had about 5 thetres and i wrongly entered a different cinema hall and was watching the movie for 5 minutes ( I thought they were showing a trailor of a different movie movie). Then i realized that this was a different movie and checked with the guy next to me only to find out it was a different cinema hall.

I hate Process !

I never used to be so formal in wearing my dresses. But i am forced to comply coz i have to go to a "customer site". The daily routine of polishing my shoes, wearing a tye, making sure your shirt and trousers are wrinke free makes me wonder wat am here for.

And I have to mention about my Project Co-ordinator here who is from IBM (actually the project is sub-contracted to us by IBM). Let me tell you she is making our lives miserable. The amount of crap work we are doing is more than the amount of project work we do. She wants us to prepare the following,

1. Sessions callender ( which details all the sessions we have with the users)
2. Minutes of the meeting ( i never knew meeting minutes will be scrutinized so much)
3. Weekly status report
4. Issue tracker list
5. Open items list

let me stop here, coz the list is so big..

Imagine we almost took a day to prepare a weekly status report (wat a waste of time!). My point here is i have lot of other important work to complete the project. Instead of doing that this lady is expecting me to do other stuffs ( in my opinion not so important things).

From that picture, you can realize that Thailand ppl can eat anything that is red/black/brown in color when cooked.

I had never been superstitious in my life, but let me tell you "13" is not that lukcy.

Swad e crub ! Swad e ka !

Bangkok is a place known for its hospitality. I realised that from the way I was treated here. It has been a good experience so far. I thought food might be a problem, but to my surprise, no issues at all.

Sitting in a meeting for an hour without understanding a word was quite an experience. I did not understand anything was contrinuted by the fact that the meeting was in Thai. After 15 minutes, i thought what the heck i am doing here and just went off for my lunch. I had a hard time explaining the taxi driver that i need to go to a nearby shoppingmall so that i can find some veggie stuff.

You must be wondering what the heading of the blog meant. It is just a greeing to say Hi in Thai. Swathikrub used to greet gentlemen and swathika for ladies.

Atlast i finished reading "Da vinci code". It was a interesting book with lot of facts, but the ending could have been better. I also read "five point someone", thanks to skely and dada. The book was too gripping and can u imagine, i finished the book 4 working days.
